Hi Nic, why not consider talking to the powers at be for a change in the way you handle manager credits with affiliates. The problem we as affiliates have with programs like yours is that we don’t see this happening with other rtg programs we promote. Meaning, our earnings don’t conveniently disappear because of all this fantasy money given out. Everyone knows what the deal is, you bring all this money in the door so your sitting with a nice profit, while the affiliate is sucking high in tit because their affiliate earnings are disappearing by all the fantasy money that {in essence} has really never left your pocket.
Thats garbage Nic and everyone knows it. I bet there are so many bonuses sitting in players accounts that they don’t even know it, and what this does is keep money in your pocket while taking it out of ours. This is a smart bunch, and before this gets out of hand I would recommend you take the bull by the horns and forget about who is right or not and find a solution since your the only program that affiliates seem to have this same problem with.
The bottom line, its garbage that affiliates are not paid profits created by their hard work because they are negated by this bull shit fantasy money your program excessively give out.
Again, affiliates don’t bitch about this with other rtg programs because it is not excessive. What would be fair to me is to take manager credits out of the equation completely unless the money actually leaves your door, meaning a cashout. Then affiliates are being paid a true % of the NET PROFIT and not some skewed number dictated by some manager who decides to put a $500 bonus in a players account that might not ever play again because he missed that email about the bonus, meanwhile that affiliate just lost $125, 25% of $500. I would be curious how much fantasy money is sitting in players accounts that don’t even know it. $400K?, $500K? Whatever it is I don’t know but I am sure its a big number and your holding a lot of money that is rightfully due to affiliates. There is no reason in the world why you should generate a profit from a player, while the affiliate earns nothing and that is what is happening, there is no denying it.
Anyway, you should look at finding a solution Nic, your not making much headway here and challenging affiliates, no matter who is right or wrong is probably going to bite you in the ass not only now but in the future. GL
